Aldous Huxley
Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
Aldous Huxley
Hug me till you drug me, honey Kiss me till I'm in a coma.
Aldous Huxley
I'm sick. I've eaten civilisation and I'm sick.
Aldous Huxley
If only people would realize that moral principles are like measles.... They have to be caught. And only the people who've got them can pass on the contagion.
Aldous Huxley
Everyone belongs to everyone else.
Aldous Huxley
It takes a certain amount of intelligence and imagination to realize the extraordinary queerness and mysteriousness of the world in which we live.
Aldous Huxley
life is short and information endless: nobody has time for everything
Aldous Huxley
